Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Tingyun: "May I ask how Senior Baiheng and Mr. Chengxiao got married?"

"Hmph, I was once the most outstanding lucky star pilot in Yaoqing. It's just a pity that I was too impulsive in a bountiful war, and my luck ran out. I almost became a roasted fox."

Bai Heng shyly cupped his face in his hands, his tail wagging incessantly.

"But hey~ Xiaolang rescued us so handsomely, like a great hero descending from the sky. As a young girl, how could I refuse such a scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress~"

"As our benefactor, of course we have to repay his kindness, that's a fine tradition of fox spirits. Plus, Xiaolang's scent, looks, physique, cooking skills... oh my, everything about him is great, so I just fell for him~"

"My benefactor clearly knows I'm budding with romantic feelings, yet he pretends not to know. That's too much! Ignoring a girl's feelings like that will haunt you for life!"

"But after the war ends, we have to return to Yaoqing, and Xiaolang also has to return to Luofu. The convenience of us being able to meet at any time in the military camp will come to an end."

"But! That can't be a reason for Xiaolang to leave us, so we came to Luofu~ and through marriage, Xiaolang and I can stay together forever."

(Actual situation: stalking, unauthorized intrusion, surveillance, fraud.)

The next person to be interviewed is Jing Yuan.

"Oh, it's Tingyun. What brings you here?"

"Please forgive me, General, but I have come to inquire about some of your private matters."

After understanding, Jing Yuan pondered for a moment:

"Interesting, Tingyun, you're definitely up to something."

Tingyun was startled, but put on a flawless smile and said:

"General, you flatter me. How could I possibly have any ill intentions?"

Jing Yuan sneered, "A fox offering New Year's greetings to Yun Wu is either a treacherous act or a theft! Do you think this general doesn't know that?"

"Hmm... I guess I couldn't escape the general's discerning eye after all?"

Jing Yuan said jokingly:

"However, I am not a demon after all. I know very well what you and Yu Kong are thinking. Anyway, you have already succeeded, so there is no point in me stopping you. Do as you please, as long as it does not affect the security of Luofu."

Tingyun exclaimed in surprise:

"The general doesn't intend to stop me?"

"Why would I want to shatter your plans? After all, I've been there too. Breaking through all the defenses to win over my master was a great achievement in my life."

Tingyun: "General, you really are... full of perseverance."

Then Tingyun inquired about the reason for the marriage, and Jingyuan replied magnanimously:

"Don't try to talk to me about sectarian ethics. When feelings are there, everything can be set aside."

"I am my master's niece, and still am, but I am also my master's wife! Of course, we got married because we love each other very much!"

"As for who fell in love with the other first, of course it was me! My martial uncle is too upright; if I didn't realize it, he would never have any feelings for me in his entire life!"

(Actual situation: stalking, attempted rape, forgery of marriage certificate, illegal wiretapping.)

It seemed that Jing Yuan's words gave Ting Yun the courage to go and interview the last remaining being.

The greatest enemy of all, the insurmountable mountain—Kagami-ryu.

"Oh? An interview?"

Jingliu, who had just finished washing up in the basement, wiped the water droplets off his white hair, looking somewhat curious.

"The Mirror Stream Sword Master and Mr. Cheng Xiao have known each other since childhood; your story has intrigued countless people!"

Swish-!

Without a word, the broken sword was placed on Tingyun's shoulder, and a tuft of fox fur was cut off.

"Tingyun, I haven't settled accounts with you for what you did before."

"Mirror Flow Sword Master...this humble woman..."

Before Tingyun could beg for mercy, Jingliu had already sheathed his sword.

"You're lucky. I just finished eating and I'm in a good mood. So, what do you want to interview me about?"

Gudong~

Tingyun swallowed hard, her heart pounding, and said:

"Sword Master, I wish to spread your love story with Mr. Cheng Xiao, so that more people may know that you are the most celebrated couple."

Jingliu nodded in satisfaction:

"You sly fox, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Not bad, you did a great job. Looks like you know your place."

"Of course! How could I, a mere woman, dare to challenge the Sword Master's position?"

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't dare!"

Tingyun picked up a pen and paper, forcing a smile:

"Then please enlighten this humble woman, Sword Master!"

Jingliu sat in the head seat, displaying an aura even more domineering than Danfeng:

"The reason is very simple: I am the only one who is the most compatible with Ah Xiao. We are as inseparable as a sword and its sheath."

"I love Ah Xiao more than anyone else in the world. My lifelong dream has always been to become a virtuous wife and loving mother, then marry the person I love and become his beautiful wife, and then become the loving mother of my future children. That's it!"

(Actual situation: Pure love! Pure love!! Pure love!!!)

Tingyun gritted her teeth and wrote with tremendous force, as if she wanted to tear the pages apart; it was her intense resentment.

As expected, Kagami is the head wife of this family, with absolute authority and an unshakeable position.

Even the most domineering Danfeng could only sigh in regret and sit in second place.

The most mild-mannered Yingxing neither competes nor fights, posing no threat whatsoever.

Bai Heng is the most eccentric fool, even more so than Jian Chi Jing Liu.

The most intelligent Jing Yuan seems to have a perfect start, but in fact, before he could get his hands on any big prize, he spent more than 800 years on the sidelines and is still in the shadow of Jing Liu.

Such an unparalleled expert is beyond Tingyun's ability to defeat!

Tingyun knew clearly that this bond was a peak she could never surpass in her life. In front of Jingliu, all her schemes and tactics were futile.

The enemy was too powerful, and even Tingyun, with his domineering mindset, could only suffer defeat and give up the strength to struggle and resist.

"Sword Master! This humble woman is completely defeated and willing to follow your lead, for I only ask for a sip of soup."

Jing Liu helped Ting Yun up and patted the dust off her shoulders.

"With Tingyun's help, my great undertaking is accomplished. Your sword was drawn and your words were filled with murderous intent; I was merely joking with you just now."

Then Jingliu opened an iron door, revealing a staircase leading underground that stretched as far as the eye could see.

But Tingyun, being a fox spirit, immediately sensed a seductive scent from the doorway.

It's Mr. Cheng Xiao!

Jingliu said softly:

"Does Tingyun dare to take on the role of vanguard?"

"What is there to be afraid of!"

"good!"

Jingliu went into the basement, and a moment later, she brought out a robe belonging to Cheng Xiao.

With her keen senses, Tingyun immediately detected a strong aura of Chengxiao from above.

"Use this to tide you over for now, to ease your mind. I'll give you a chance to eat meat later. But you have to do as I say."

"Sword Master, what about Sister Sky Soaring..."

"Heh, a Sky-Riding Warrior? Such a fine general should naturally be at my service. Let me share this with her as an invitation."

Tingyun gently touched her chest and said solemnly:

"I have drifted through half my life, never encountering a wise ruler. If you, my lord, do not abandon me, I am willing to serve you!"

Jingliu: "Excellent!"
